you know you are in utah when....

I have just made the roadtrip back to college and of course was reminded of reasons I will miss California so much, but also what makes Utah and mainly BYU so unique. This has inspired me to make a list so....

You know you are in Utah when:

  1. Yielded left turns. To be honest I am really not a fan.
  2. There is more open land than buildings. Okay Utah I'll give you that the landscape is beautiful.
  3. It is 101 degrees outside yet you are still looking around to make sure there isn't snow on the mountains....but there still is.
  4. Gas makes a slurping noise when it is being pumped into your car.
  5. Random boys come up and help you move boxes.
  6. Chances are that at least 50% of the people on campus speak another language fluently.
  7. It is possible to awkwardly run into people you have met at EFY or "on the mish"
  8. There are more bridal and floral shops then Starbucks.
  9. Drive anywhere and you pass multiple church buildings and sometimes even a temple.
  10. The streets are numbered instead of named. I am still figuring out my North, South, East, and West.
There are many more but those are the first that seem to pop into mind. Here I am. Sophomore year here I come.

"summer has come and past...wake me up when september ends"

As of late I have decided I have a love/hate relationship with a whole lot of different things and one of them happens to be the end of summer. So, I have decided to list out the pros and cons so that the debate can be over once and for all...

Pros:

I get to see these fine ladys once again

attend this place:

gems like this walking on campus


football games:


crazed fans:


and of course the snowboarding:


So to be honest there really is no debate. I am excited to go back to school. Sure I will miss this:


and have to deal with this sometimes:


but besides that and all the hw I will have I kinda love it there :)
Provo here I come.
